Dear Karl,

If you take the 'less gentle' approach (and thus overwrite the =
base-system with 64bit binaries) you need
to rebuild your ports. As far as I am aware, there are no special things =
that should be considered in
doing so. I dont have any special flags on my native 64bit instance(, I =
did not overwrite it or anything!).

Can you please share what kind of problems you were facing? There might =
be ports that only work on
i386 instead of amd64, but even then there are 32bit compat libraries =
that should aid in running them
nevertheless (though not natively).

Thanks
Remko
